Cartographic symbols

In topographic maps, we try to make sure that every geographical object is represented with shapes and dimensions similar to reality. However, many objects cannot be brought to scale on the map, which is why they are depicted with a conventional sign.

With conventional signs or cartographic symbols roads, particular types of buildings (churches, chapels, factories, etc.), bridges, railways, aqueducts can be distinguished; others still show the characteristics of crops, spontaneous plants and so on.

The conventional signs found on topographic maps are therefore numerous. Many of them can be observed, with the relative explanation, at the bottom of each map of theItalian Military Geographic Institute. (Source: Wikipedia)
